New Publication in Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology: 4D Wide-Field Ultrafast Ultrasound of the Human Carotid Using a Multi-Lens Probe

Hannah Plath, PhD student in our lab, has just published her first paper in Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology.

Her work introduces a novel approach to imaging the human carotid artery in 4D that is, full 3D imaging captured over time, using a custom multi-lens probe designed for wide-field coverage. Traditional ultrasound probes offer limited spatial coverage, constraining the ability to capture the full complexity of vascular anatomy. By combining ultrafast acquisition with a multi-lens architecture, this method enables simultaneous large-field and high-resolution Doppler imaging, paving the way for richer, more comprehensive assessments of vascular structure and blood-flow dynamics directly in patients.

Congratulations to Hannah on this milestone, and to all co-authors!
